The Civil Rights Act, signed the year before, barred federal funding of institutions that discriminated on the basis of race. That, of course, included hospitals, which under Medicare, would be major recipients of federal dollars. A front-page Washington Post story in 1966 reported that Johnson made \"an 11th-hour appeal for hospitals to end discrimination, but he failed to prevent Medicare's start from being marred by segregation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2015/07/30/427648586/50-years-ago-medicare-helped-to-desegregate-hospitals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPR's All Things Considered\u003c/a> recently recounted, the fear of losing federal funds \"became a powerful motivator\" for segregated hospitals to accept black patients. An under-staffed team of government inspectors were supported by hundreds of volunteers who ensured that hospitals complied with the new rules, Temple University professor David Barton Smith told NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Early on, they were making sure that all of the white and colored signs were removed,\" Barton said. \"But then, they would go back and insist that hospital employees and patients not self-segregate in the waiting rooms. They were pretty fierce about it. And they had an invisible army in the sense of local civil rights groups that would guide them in their inspections, including a lot of black health workers that helped in providing the eyes and ears for making sure that the hospitals were not just trying to cover everything up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within several months, about 2,000 hospitals around the country had been desegregated, according to Barton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the enrollment effort was incredibly successful, with near to total enrollment of the 19 million eligible seniors by the summer of 1966.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today Medicare accounts for roughly 15 percent of total federal spending. The program covers some 55 million seniors and people with disabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medicaid, which is jointly financed by federal and state governments, today covers one in five Americans -- nearly 70 million people -- including one in three children and two in three nursing home patients, according to the nonpartisan \u003ca href=\"http://kff.org/medicaremedicaid50/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kaiser Family Foundation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Together the two programs provide healthcare to roughly three in 10 Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps most notable is that Medicare -- that harbinger of \"socialism\" and destroyer of freedom, as Reagan warned -- has long been one of the most popular federal programs. A recent KFF poll found that more than three-quarters of those surveyed called it a \"very important\" public program. That, remarkably, includes a solid majority of both Democrats (89%) and Republicans (69%).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Support for Medicaid is somewhat more divided, particularly along partisan lines, as evidenced by \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/share/medicaid-map\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent state actions\u003c/a> rejecting federal funding for the program's expansion. Still, a full 63 percent of the poll's respondents considered Medicaid to be \"very important,\" which by U.S. political standards, makes it a downright crowd-pleaser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=300&v=f9NUCvrrRz4\u003c/p>\n\n",

The first was for Americans ages 65 and up, regardless of income (and later expanded to include younger people with permanent disabilities). The second, for low-income people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Obama's Affordable Care Act, the programs faced staunch opposition and lofty implementation challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take Medicare: for one, notes the \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonkblog/wp/2013/05/17/when-medicare-launched-nobody-had-any-clue-whether-it-would-work/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Washington Post's Sarah Kliff\u003c/a>, benefits were to go into effect in July 1966, giving the Johnson administration less than a year to reach 19 million seniors, a daunting deadline the New York Times tagged \"M-Day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of \"Project Medicare Alert,\" the government hired 5,000 workers -- paid $1.25 per hour for 20-week stints -- to enroll seniors across the country.

The Civil Rights Act, signed the year before, barred federal funding of institutions that discriminated on the basis of race. That, of course, included hospitals, which under Medicare, would be major recipients of federal dollars. A front-page Washington Post story in 1966 reported that Johnson made \"an 11th-hour appeal for hospitals to end discrimination, but he failed to prevent Medicare's start from being marred by segregation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2015/07/30/427648586/50-years-ago-medicare-helped-to-desegregate-hospitals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPR's All Things Considered\u003c/a> recently recounted, the fear of losing federal funds \"became a powerful motivator\" for segregated hospitals to accept black patients. An under-staffed team of government inspectors were supported by hundreds of volunteers who ensured that hospitals complied with the new rules, Temple University professor David Barton Smith told NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Early on, they were making sure that all of the white and colored signs were removed,\" Barton said. \"But then, they would go back and insist that hospital employees and patients not self-segregate in the waiting rooms. They were pretty fierce about it. And they had an invisible army in the sense of local civil rights groups that would guide them in their inspections, including a lot of black health workers that helped in providing the eyes and ears for making sure that the hospitals were not just trying to cover everything up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within several months, about 2,000 hospitals around the country had been desegregated, according to Barton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the enrollment effort was incredibly successful, with near to total enrollment of the 19 million eligible seniors by the summer of 1966.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today Medicare accounts for roughly 15 percent of total federal spending. The program covers some 55 million seniors and people with disabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medicaid, which is jointly financed by federal and state governments, today covers one in five Americans -- nearly 70 million people -- including one in three children and two in three nursing home patients, according to the nonpartisan \u003ca href=\"http://kff.org/medicaremedicaid50/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kaiser Family Foundation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Together the two programs provide healthcare to roughly three in 10 Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps most notable is that Medicare -- that harbinger of \"socialism\" and destroyer of freedom, as Reagan warned -- has long been one of the most popular federal programs. A recent KFF poll found that more than three-quarters of those surveyed called it a \"very important\" public program. That, remarkably, includes a solid majority of both Democrats (89%) and Republicans (69%).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Support for Medicaid is somewhat more divided, particularly along partisan lines, as evidenced by \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/share/medicaid-map\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent state actions\u003c/a> rejecting federal funding for the program's expansion. Still, a full 63 percent of the poll's respondents considered Medicaid to be \"very important,\" which by U.S. political standards, makes it a downright crowd-pleaser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/f9NUCvrrRz4'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/f9NUCvrrRz4'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

As the new film \u003ca href=\"http://www.selmamovie.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Selma\u003c/a> dramatically recounts, the event was pivotal in strengthening public support for the Civil Rights Movement and persuading President Lyndon Johnson to push for voting rights legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/tVymzWrBTww\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year after passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, blacks throughout the South -- and other regions -- were still blatantly denied the right to vote.

As we speak, more such laws are being proposed. Meanwhile, the Voting Rights Act, the culmination of so much blood, so much sweat and tears, the product of so much sacrifice in the face of wanton violence, stands weakened, its future subject to political rancor. How can that be? The VRA was one of the crowning achievements of our democracy, the result of Republican and Democratic efforts ... If want to honor this day (let Congress) pledge to make it their mission to restore that law this year.

Robert Bentley of Alabama, a Republican, also spoke on Saturday, noting that he hoped the occasion would show how much Alabama had changed since those tumultuous days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want people in America and the world to realize that Alabama is a different place and a different state than it was 50 years ago,” Bentley told the\u003cem> \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/08/us/obama-in-selma-for-edmund-pettus-bridge-attack-anniversary.html\" target=\"_blank\">New York Times\u003c/a>\u003c/em>. “It has become probably as much of a colorblind state as any state in the country, and we’re very proud of the advancement we've made.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"story-body-text story-content\">The stats suggest otherwise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"story-body-text story-content\">Alabama began enforcing strict voter photo ID rules last year.

"headTitle": "The Lowdown | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>In the 1960s Congress began enacting a series of civil rights laws intended to (among other things) protect certain classes of home-buyers or renters from discriminatory housing practices, and to help increase the supply and access of housing for lower income and underrepresented populations.\u003c!--more--> Known as “fair housing” legislation, the laws are administered and executed by the\u003ca href=\"http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp\" target=\"_blank\"> U.S. Housing and Urban Development’s office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO)\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps most prominent among them is the \u003ca href=\"http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/hce/title8.php\">Fair Housing Act\u003c/a>, a part of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 that President Johnson signed exactly a week after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. As amended, the act prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental and financing of dwellings (homes of any kind) based on race, color, national origin, religion, gender, familial status, or disability. Essentially this means that a landlord or home seller can’t refuse a potential renter or buyer based on these bases. Interestingly, sexual orientation or gender identity is not included in the federal law, although it considered a protected class under the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fehc.ca.gov/act/pdf/FEHA_Outline.pdf\">California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act\u003c/a>.\u003cbr>\nMarin County was recently found to be out of compliance with federal fair housing laws. How so?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s actually more an issue of what they \u003cem>didn’t\u003c/em> do, and how that can actually restrict housing choices to minority classes protected under federal and state housing laws. Here’s how:\u003cbr>\nMarin recently received a large pot of federal funding as part of a \u003ca href=\"http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/comm_planning/communitydevelopment/programs\">Community Development Block Grant\u003c/a>. The grants are part of a HUD program meant to help local governments provide decent affordable housing services and jobs in lower income communities. In determining how the funds would be used, Marin was required to actively solicit and incorporate input from residents of its lower income and minority communities, and HUD alleged that the county did not do enough outreach to ensure that a representative swath of the population was included in the planning process. Marin also failed to provide HUD with an adequate demographic data profile (racial, ethnic, gender, disability) on who would benefit from the funds. Put simply: their record keeping wasn't up to snuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anne Quesada, the director of HUD’s regional Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity center, explains it like this: “Because they weren’t collecting or submitting accurate demographics from those getting direct benefits of the money, we couldn’t tell who was participating or benefiting from it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a recipient of these funds, she adds, Marin must demonstrate that it is “affirmatively furthering fair housing” and that it has identified the “impediments to fair housing choice.” A crucial part of doing that is to demonstrate that the county isn’t just slapping up a bunch of affordable housing that's concentrated in just a few locations, the county must show that it is making proactive efforts to increase housing access throughout the jurisdiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HUD charged that Marin failed to comply with \u003ca href=\"http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/cor/coord/titlevi.php\">Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964\u003c/a> as well as two other federal anti-discrimination statutes. Collectively, the laws prohibit discrimination (on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, disability, or religion) within programs and activities that receive federal funding. The county has already agreed to take action to increase accessibility to the county for minorities and other lower income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marin has one of the most expensive housing markets in the country. The county is 80 percent white, according to \u003ca href=\"http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/06/06041.html\">2010 Census data\u003c/a>, with seven of the ten whitest communities in the Bay Area. Much of its small black and Hispanic population is concentrated in just areas: Marin City and San Rafael's Canal District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, Quesada says that similar instances of noncompliance by local government recipients are pretty common and, in most cases, fairly easy to rectify. Marin has since entered into a voluntary compliance agreement and last month submitted a document to HUD titled “\u003ca href=\"http://www.co.marin.ca.us/comdev/comdev/FEDERAL/ai/ai-esr-bos-10-11-11.pdf\">Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice” (AI)\u003c/a>, which the agency will review by the end of the year. Among the fair housing impediments Marin included in its report: strict zoning ordinances; restrictions on high-density, multi-family housing; insufficient outreach to non-English speakers, predatory lending practices; and negative stereotypes about low income residents with Section 8 vouchers.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nWhat does “fair housing” have to do with “affordable housing\"?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nExplicitly, not that much; no federal law mandates local governments to create specific numbers of affordable homes in their communities.

Essentially this means that a landlord or home seller can’t refuse a potential renter or buyer based on these bases. Interestingly, sexual orientation or gender identity is not included in the federal law, although it considered a protected class under the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fehc.ca.gov/act/pdf/FEHA_Outline.pdf\">California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act\u003c/a>.\u003cbr>\nMarin County was recently found to be out of compliance with federal fair housing laws. How so?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s actually more an issue of what they \u003cem>didn’t\u003c/em> do, and how that can actually restrict housing choices to minority classes protected under federal and state housing laws. Here’s how:\u003cbr>\nMarin recently received a large pot of federal funding as part of a \u003ca href=\"http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/comm_planning/communitydevelopment/programs\">Community Development Block Grant\u003c/a>. The grants are part of a HUD program meant to help local governments provide decent affordable housing services and jobs in lower income communities. In determining how the funds would be used, Marin was required to actively solicit and incorporate input from residents of its lower income and minority communities, and HUD alleged that the county did not do enough outreach to ensure that a representative swath of the population was included in the planning process. Marin also failed to provide HUD with an adequate demographic data profile (racial, ethnic, gender, disability) on who would benefit from the funds. Put simply: their record keeping wasn't up to snuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anne Quesada, the director of HUD’s regional Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity center, explains it like this: “Because they weren’t collecting or submitting accurate demographics from those getting direct benefits of the money, we couldn’t tell who was participating or benefiting from it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a recipient of these funds, she adds, Marin must demonstrate that it is “affirmatively furthering fair housing” and that it has identified the “impediments to fair housing choice.” A crucial part of doing that is to demonstrate that the county isn’t just slapping up a bunch of affordable housing that's concentrated in just a few locations, the county must show that it is making proactive efforts to increase housing access throughout the jurisdiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Collectively, the laws prohibit discrimination (on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, disability, or religion) within programs and activities that receive federal funding. The county has already agreed to take action to increase accessibility to the county for minorities and other lower income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marin has one of the most expensive housing markets in the country. The county is 80 percent white, according to \u003ca href=\"http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/06/06041.html\">2010 Census data\u003c/a>, with seven of the ten whitest communities in the Bay Area. Much of its small black and Hispanic population is concentrated in just areas: Marin City and San Rafael's Canal District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, Quesada says that similar instances of noncompliance by local government recipients are pretty common and, in most cases, fairly easy to rectify. Marin has since entered into a voluntary compliance agreement and last month submitted a document to HUD titled “\u003ca href=\"http://www.co.marin.ca.us/comdev/comdev/FEDERAL/ai/ai-esr-bos-10-11-11.pdf\">Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice” (AI)\u003c/a>, which the agency will review by the end of the year. Among the fair housing impediments Marin included in its report: strict zoning ordinances; restrictions on high-density, multi-family housing; insufficient outreach to non-English speakers, predatory lending practices; and negative stereotypes about low income residents with Section 8 vouchers.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nWhat does “fair housing” have to do with “affordable housing\"?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nExplicitly, not that much; no federal law mandates local governments to create specific numbers of affordable homes in their communities. In fact, under fair housing laws (both nationally and in California) landlords can lawfully discriminate against tenants with low incomes or bad credit histories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, though, when local governments do receive CDBG grants and other housing funds, the money is explicitly intended to serve the needs of lower income and minority communities by increasing supply and access to affordable housing options throughout a jurisdiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you do build affordable housing, we’re interested in where you place housing,” notes Quesada. “Is it a good area?
